Israel not at fault in deadly Freedom Flotilla raid, explains Israel

I think this passage from the New York Times speaks for itself.
TEL AVIV — An Israeli military investigation into its naval takeover of a Gaza-bound flotilla six weeks ago found that it was plagued by errors of planning, intelligence and coordination but the killings of nine [...]

From AIPAC: Anti-Arab video made by a Jerusalem Post editor

image thumbnail - see full story for attributionsVideo
It seems the Jerusalem Post's Deputy Managing Editor, Caroline Glick, doesn't have much real work to do, since she has produced her second racist video in two weeks. AIPAC has generously distributed this one for her to U.S. journalists. H/T M.J. Rosenberg from Media Matters for America, a self-described former operative [...]

Hoarding, Gaza, and the pathologies of the Holocaust

My grandfather was a member of the Jewish resistance movement in Germany during the holocaust. He left the country in 1936, before things got super heavy, though the Nazis got his brother. He was a great guy, my grandfather, funny and smart and talented in lots of ways. But he [...]

The real Helen Thomas scandal

image thumbnail - see full story for attributions
Last week, Israeli commandos boarded a relief ship attempting to break the blockade of the Gaza Strip and, during a clash with pro-Palestinian activists, shot nine people to death. It was an old-fashioned, bona fide "international incident," a fiasco that raised alarming questions about the current trajectory of Israel's security, [...]

When will these Muslims stop blockading and occupying Jewish land?

War cheerleaders often give two justifications for America's ongoing, seemingly endless occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan: 1) We're there for the good of those we are occupying, and 2) We're there to prevent that country from attacking us in the future.  Those justifications can also be used to justify Israel's [...]

So no Irish activists were shot this morning as the Israeli navy - during daylight, from boats, not helicopters - boarded the Gaza-bound ship 'Rachel Corrie.' Hooray. If only this sensible strategy had been used a week ago, the world might not be looking so unkindly toward Israel. While the world's [...]

It looks like Jerusalem's political status is making life hell for iPhone app developers. Yahoo! just revised their iPhone app to delete "Jerusalem, Israel" as a listed city for weather forecasts and other services. Instead, there is "East Jerusalem, Palestinian Occupied Territories" and "West Jerusalem, Israel." Israel-based blog Jewlicious summed it up: [...]

A plan to bring Israel and Turkey back from the brink

It's hard to find a more universally respect Middle East policy expert than British-Australian-American former Ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk. He's worked at AIPAC and its cousin WINEP, was at Camp David a decade ago for the peace negotiations, and now heads the Middle East project at Brookings funded by [...]
